Case Study: CSV Library

Comma-separated value (CSV) format is a widely used representation for tabular data.

Used by spreadsheets, as an export format for DBMSs, etc.

Example of CSV data: 

"LU",86.25,"11/4/1998","2:19PM",+4.0625,83.9375
"T",60.6875,"11/4/1998","2:19PM",-1.1875,62.375
"MSFT",106.5625,"11/4/1998","2:24PM",+1.375,105.8125

Would like a libary to deal with CSV data: read it, extract components
